What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Oct 13, 1:59 PM CDT, 3 hours 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 13, 1:59 PM CDT, 3 hours 11 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
159 PM CDT SAT OCT 13 2012

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FORECAST HIGHLIGHT IS STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING.

THIS AFTERNOON-TONIGHT...MAIN QUESTION REGARDING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
MAGNITUDE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING IS EXTENT OF LOW CLOUDS AND
ASSOCIATED DESTABILIZATION. MUCH OF THE AREA STILL REMAINS SOCKED
IN WITH LOW CLOUDS DUE TO A VERY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER. HOWEVER...PER
VISIBLE SATELLITE TRENDS...THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME THINNING/BREAKS
IN OVERCAST STEADILY INCREASING FROM SOUTH-CENTRAL KS SOUTH INTO
WESTERN OK. THINKING THIS TREND SHOULD SLOWLY CONTINUE EASTWARD AS
AFTERNOON PROGRESSES...ALLOWING FOR MLCAPES UP TO 1500-2000 J/KG.

AREAS OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE OVER SOUTHEAST KS
THROUGH MID/LATE AFTERNOON IN ZONE OF STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT
UNDERNEATH UPPER DIFFLUENCE...BUT THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD ONLY POSE A
MARGINAL HAIL THREAT AT BEST...ALONG WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.
THINKING SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL INCREASE GENERALLY ALONG/WEST
OF THE I-135/35 CORRIDOR BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON...AS STRONG MID-LEVEL
COOLING BEGINS TO OVERSPREAD A SHARPENING DRYLINE/PACIFIC COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS ARE LIKELY GIVEN
THE AFOREMENTIONED INSTABILITY IN TANDEM WITH THE STRONG DEEP LAYER
FORCING AND 50-60 KTS DEEP LAYER SHEAR. THINKING DOMINANT STORM
MODE WILL BE LINE SEGMENTS WITH EMBEDDED SUPERCELL STRUCTURES DUE TO
DEEP LAYER SHEAR VECTOR'S SHALLOW ANGLE ACROSS THE DRYLINE.
HOWEVER...SHEAR VECTOR SHOULD BE A BIT MORE PERPENDICULAR TO DRYLINE
FROM SOUTH-CENTRAL KS INTO WESTERN OK...WHICH WOULD FAVOR A FEW MORE
DISCRETE SUPERCELLS...WITH NORTHEAST STORM MOTIONS BRINGING THIS
ACTIVITY INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL/PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST KS. GIVEN LOW
CLOUD BASES...STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND MODEST/STRONG LOW-LEVEL
CAPE...A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE...EVEN FURTHER NORTH INTO
CENTRAL/EAST-CENTRAL KS. OTHER THREATS WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
INTENSE STRAIGHT-LINE DAMAGING WINDS WITH ANY INTENSE LINE/BOW
SEGMENTS...ALONG WITH LARGE HAIL...ALTHOUGH LARGE HAIL WILL BE
CONFINED TO ROTATING STORMS. TORNADO/HAIL THREAT SHOULD TEND TO WAVE
BY LATE EVENING...AS ACTIVITY CONGEALS INTO ONE OR MORE SQUALL LINES
OVER EASTERN KS...WITH A CONTINUED THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS. ALL
ACTIVITY SHOULD EXIT FAR EAST/SOUTHEAST KS AROUND MIDNIGHT OR
SHORTLY AFTER. ADDITIONALLY...COULD ALSO SEE SOME LOCALIZED MINOR
FLOODING OF TYPICAL FLOOD-PRONE AREAS OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS THROUGH
MIDNIGHT.

ONCE THIS SYSTEM EXITS...FAIRLY NICE FALL WEATHER ANTICIPATED
THROUGH TUE/WED...WITH DRY WEATHER AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN
THE 70S/LOW 80S. STOUT/GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS ANTICIPATED SUNDAY IN
WAKE OF THIS STORM SYSTEM. MOST MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE AND ASSOCIATED
GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS STRONGLY SUGGEST A PRETTY GOOD COOL DOWN FROM
WED AND BEYOND...AS A DEEP TROUGH DIGS SOUTH AND AMPLIFIES ACROSS
THE CENTRAL/EASTERN CONUS. ALTHOUGH THERE REMAINS SOME
UNCERTAINTY...LATEST GFS/ECMWF WOULD INDICATE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN
THE 50S-LOW 60S THU-SAT. NORMAL HIGHS THIS TIME OF YEAR ARE IN THE
UPPER 60S-LOW 70S.
